I have both a S&W Bodyguard 380 and a Ruger LCP that I have added a Crimson Trace laser to. I see pros and cons to both based on my experience with them. I have never owned or shot a Kahr P380
What I like about the Bodyguard is the useable sights on the gun, the sights on the LCP are near useless. I find the trigger pull a little longer and harder on the Bodyguard than on the LCP. I find the standard laser on the Bodyguard essentially useless as it is too difficult to activate during a situation requiring quick draw and aim. They both feel good in my hand so no preference there. I don't really find that much difference in shooting comfort from recoil between the two. They are both small and light (the primary consideration for me in selecting a CCW) and both have been very reliable in practice at a shooting at a range. Cost was also a big consideration in selecting these. With using the laser sights a relatively close range I achieve about the same accuracy with both, but without use of the laser I do better with the Bodyguard. I find the safety on the Bodyguard useless in practice, the release button is to small and difficult to move that I would think about keeping it on. Even though I keep a round in the chamber I feel comfortable without a safety for both given the DAO and long trigger pull.
I agree.
The things I like about the Bodyguard are......
1. It has a natural "dead on" aim when I pull it up.
2. It has sights that you can use and are adjustable.
3. The laser....... meh Didn't buy it for that anyway.
4. I have found it to be very accurate for a pocket gun.
5. I like the last shot slide hold open feature.
6. Slide lock.
7. TAKE DOWN LEVER is a huge plus! Most other pocket guns you have to push a roll pin out to field strip and clean.
8. Manual safety in addition to the double action long trigger pull. Good for those who carry with one in the chamber and are not comfortable without a safety.
It has all of the features of a "Big" gun in a nice, compact unit.
